Dang I want an entire gym like that to myself.
It is impressive.
I would be more impressed if she didn't repeatedly do the douche move of dropping the weights when she finishes a set/rep.

Yeah I know. It kinda looks cool to do, but you're missing out on working the negative (and not completing the rep).FEOS wrote:

Leg day. Squats followed by slow reps on the leg press, leg extension and leg curls. Felt the burn alright

The fuck is that?
You don't do gut bounces? How will you ever build a six-pack before summer?
My friend confuses me. I will never understand how a 180lb (81kg) male that's been working out consistently for over a year can't at least bench 200 (90kg) and deadlift around 315 (143kg).
Hi Androoz.
Maybe I should find out my 1RM. I just dunno how to do it.
Do it with your PT. I did mine a few months ago.
Basically you warm up as normal, get to your working weight but instead of say 6 reps, just do 2. Then go a bit higher, do one. If you feel you can go higher, bump it up a bit and do one. Rest for a couple minutes between each weight increase until you really can't do another. With bench press this is obvious and safe with your PT spotting you. With the squat you need safety pins/bars and your PT behind you to make sure you bring it safely to the pins if required. With the deadlift I used straps to take the burden off my grip and onto the rest of my body.
You absolutely must do every rep with good form or it doesn't count.

perhaps. Making some gains on the chest though. Boss came in and said I looked fat because my back and chest have grown so in a lose shirt I look like im carrying some weight. Still have a narrow waist though B)
That's good. My chest has definitely increased in size (has to when I had trouble benching 50kg past 4 reps and now bench 70kg for 6) and my back muscles have thickened quite a bit (along with increases in arm size) but this gut fat I've had for years now just needs to go. Still have a size 32 waist, same as when I was a skinny 16 year old at 67kg, but I currently weigh 83kg XD

I bench quite light (30kgs), because I do a lot of volume (4x12 incline, same for bench). But the bench is easier than incline, but not sure whether I should increase the bench by 5kgs and leave the incline the same, or wait for the incline to catch up.
Flat bench is always going to be stronger than an incline bench. Same as over time most people's deadlift becomes a bit stronger than their squat.
Liking having lats now though. 30 inch waste is doing wonders aesthetically.
It's all about the V taper. Mine is currently between a V and a U
I wanna go to the gym, damn it.
That's good.

I have a V shape. It's inverted, but it's still a V.Jaekus wrote:

On a serious note, I think building up the shoulders does as much or more for the V shape as building out the back. Both are important, but well-developed shoulders definitely make a bigger aesthetic difference.
I'm not really doing this for aesthetics, but it's a good side effect.
